Joseph Robert "J.R." Redmond (born September 28, 1977) was an American football running back in the National Football League. He previously has played for the New England Patriots and Oakland Raiders, and won a Super Bowl as a member of the Patriots. College careerAs a senior at Arizona State University he was a Heisman Trophy and Doak Walker award candidate, and was one of the premier kick returners in the country. He ranks third in ASU history with 3,299 career rushing yards. His total career yardage ranks 26th all time in Pac-10 history.[1]
Professional careerRedmond is best known for his role on the 2001 New England Patriots. In the Divisional Playoff Game, Redmond caught three passes in the Patriots' game-winning overtime drive of the famous "Snow Bowl" playoff game against the Oakland Raiders. Most famously, in Super Bowl, with the Patriots on their own 30-yard line with 41 seconds left, Redmond caught a 3 yard dump-down pass from quarterback Tom Brady, dodged a tackler to pass the first down marker and then dragged a second tackler to the sideline, extending the ball out of bounds to stop the clock. The stopped clock allowed the Patriots to keep the drive alive and led, plays later, to a Patriots victory on an Adam Vinatieri's field goal. Charlie Weis, the Patriots offensive coordinator at the time, has said that he would have recommended playing for overtime had Redmond not gotten out of bounds and stopped the clock.[2]
Post Professional FootballRedmond currently is a free agent and to this point has not received an offer from any other NFL team. He is attempting to get into coaching; several videos of him teaching running back skills are on YouTube. Redmond is a cousin to NFL running back Derrick Ward. References
